Below Rifugio Berni Val di Gavia 2540 m towards the east, descend on a dirt road, cross the bridge and immediately go left at the signpost with marker no. 525. The long trail starts, leading downhill on the right orographic side with many ups and downs. Almost immediately, cross the splendid Stone Bridge over the Rio Dosegu' and continue along the gorge of the Gavia stream. Then, after passing in front of the Shepherds' Hut 2446 m, you face a fork at 2430 m: to the left, itinerary no. 556 descends directly to Ponte delle Vacche and S. Caterina, while towards the north continue along the contour path on itinerary no. 525 in the direction of the repeater panel to reach Dosso Tresero 2356 m. Here you find the sign with the writing La Romantica, a comfortable wooden bench to admire the splendid panorama of Valfurva and the indication to descend to Santa Caterina along the steep forest trail no. 561. The easier alternative is towards Alpe Tresero heading south for 3.6 km to Ponte delle Vacche 2012 m and to the Gavia Provincial Road on the aforementioned itinerary no. 556.
